Written so long ago. I'll leave it here to dust off...
The pampered young lady Xia Die had been spoiled since childhood. Proud and conceited, she looked down on everyone, especially Bu Hanlin, the stockroom worker at the little shop.
She'd heard that he transferred in during his second year of high school. His family was poor, he was an excellent student, and he had plenty of admirers.
Their only real interaction was when she stood by and watched with amusement as his classmates picked on him.
Later, Xia Die's parents died in a car accident. Overnight, everyone turned against her, and all her fair-weather friends deleted her contact information.
On a rainy day,
Xia Die, who had temporarily dropped out of school, had nowhere to go. She sat alone outside the little shop, starving and drenched.
When she looked up, a black umbrella was shielding her. Bu Hanlin stood before her, his face hard and stern.
"Want to come with me?" he asked.
She stared at him for a few moments, then asked with a sly glint in her eyes, "Do you want me?"
Bu Hanlin said, "Yeah."
Xia Die laughed until her shoulders shook, her tone light and carefree. "You can kiss me now. You don't have to take responsibility."
"After that, you can get lost."
**
Bu Hanlin always remembered the butterfly pastries from Xia Die's favorite dessert shop. A box cost 78 yuan, the equivalent of his living expenses for an entire week.
